Boarding at Troutbeck is intentionally small, carefully supervised, and quietly ordered.

Each boarding house comprises en-suite bedrooms accommodating five pupils, with a resident adult present throughout the night.

This scale is deliberate.

We do not operate large dormitories.
We do not leave children to manage themselves.

Every child is known personally.
Every evening is supervised attentively.
Every routine is steady and predictable.

Boarding is not simply accommodation.
It is an extension of the school’s care.

For younger pupils especially, the presence of a resident adult provides calm reassurance. A child who wakes in the night is not alone. A worry is heard. A difficult day is noticed. Small problems are addressed before they become large ones.

The houses are structured and orderly — but they are also warm. Conversation is guided. Courtesy is expected. Kindness is reinforced.

Parents entrust us with their children. We take that responsibility seriously — not occasionally, but daily.

Each child is known, noticed, and guided.
